Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Team NXT vs Team Smackdown vs Team RAW

Here's the match video of Team NXT vs Team Smackdown vs Team RAW women's match from last night's Survivor Series. The show turned out to be a 3 1/2 hour promo for NXT. As tends to happen with this kind of match, it was a mixed bag with a very stupid finish centering on bogus injuries. Phony injuries are a regular part of the WWE but they do far too many of them. Plus we know when injuries are phony. And in this case, they used them to screw up the finish. We did briefly get a Io Shirai vs Kairi Sane showdown. Eventually Asuka came in and cleaned house. It turned into a finisher buffet which is common in these kind of matches. Io Shirai and Candice LeRae were seemingly injured on the floor and carried to the back. When a replay wasn't shown and then Michael Cole said there was no replay, I knew the injuries were phony because they have replays of everything. Then Team RAW captain Charlotte Flair let her enormous out of control ego get in the way. She tagged herself in and when Asuka took exception to that, the end result was Asuka sprayed her with the green mist and then she left. Lacey Evans pinned Charlotte. At the end Rhea Ripley and Sasha Banks are remaining. Io and Candice come out. What do you know? They weren't really injured. An Io Shirai springboard dropkick led to Rhea winning the match with her Riptide finisher. So the phony injuries were done to make NXT look like underdogs when what they really did was cheat fans of a good finish to this match. It was a bad idea not to mention unnecessary. I expect the conflict between Asuka and Charlotte to lead to the main event of next month's TLC show. Enjoy the video!
